I didn't understand half of it, even tho my English skills are not that bad to be able to comprehend. But oh my John was I in for it. The summary you gave with all the important details had me finally realizing it all. I am looking forward to read the last book. This fandom has to grow. I want more people to read it and more people to know about it, so I have more people to talk about it, too. Excellent video. I could listen to you talking about it for hours. I probably will rewatch it a lot. Thank you again. Keep on being awesome!

Thanks for this wonderful recap video. I do not believe I am the target demographic for this series but I really fell in love - the series has a lot of heart and makes you really care for the characters. I found the world building and foreshadowing to be top-notch. I guessed a lot of the big reveals in HtN but it really felt deserved - not that I instantly saw them coming and they ended up coming across cheap, not at all.I read closely and highlighted and took notes and made sense of the world and the story and it was so rewarding! Your video is also super validating because even though I felt really lost during HtN (I was told by a friend to just pay attention and keep reading despite the confusion) I really didn't end up missing much!
